Abstract: A refrigerator and a method of controlling a refrigerator are provided. The refrigerator may include a machine room defined in or at one side of a storage compartment, a base that defines a bottom surface of the machine room, a compressor seated on the base to compress a refrigerant, a condenser that condenses a refrigerant compressed in the compressor, the condenser being disposed on or at one side of the compressor, a drain pan disposed on the base to store condensed water generated in the condenser, and a fan assembly coupled to the base to generate an air flow within the machine room. The fan assembly may include a plurality of condensation fans.

Abstract: In the refrigerator operation control method of the present disclosure, each storage compartment is controlled to be maintained within a constant temperature range for each storage compartment during at least one at least one operation of a pre-heat supply operation, a heat supply operation, and a temperature returning operation. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent or minimize each storage compartment from exceeding a constant temperature range due to the heat supply operation.

Abstract: The refrigerator of the present disclosure is configured such that a hot gas flow path is in contact with a return flow path. Therefore, a refrigerant recovered by a compressor after defrosting one evaporator via the hot gas flow path and cooling the other evaporator is in a gaseous state, thereby protecting the compressor.

Abstract: In a refrigerator according to the present disclosure, even if the temperature of a hot gas flow path through which a high-temperature refrigerant flows gradually decreases due to heat exchange while passing through an evaporator, the hot gas flow path is provided with heat from a heating source and reheated by a heat transfer member, sufficient heat may be provided until the hot gas completely passes through the evaporator.

Abstract: A control method for a refrigerator comprises: driving a first cooling fan to cool a first storage chamber; adjusting a damper to cause cold air to simultaneously flow through first and second cold-air passages; adjusting a damper to reduce the opening angle of the first cold-air passage, when the temperature of a high-temperature chamber reaches a value smaller than or equal to a second reference temperature for the high-temperature chamber; adjusting a damper to reduce the opening angle of the second cold-air passage, when the temperature of a low-temperature chamber reaches a value smaller than or equal to a second reference temperature for the low-temperature chamber; and driving a second cooling fan to cool a second storage chamber. When a predetermined time elapses or the sensed temperature of the high-temperature chamber reaches a first set temperature, the damper is adjusted to increase the opening angle of the first cold-air passage.
